Well, that's a kind of a rude generalisation. :) Or maybe I read you wrong.

You should know there's a lot of world-class talent around here. Sure there's tons of slackers but I posit that's true everywhere (maybe they can't squeeze through the cracks in the USA? but they still exist).

There’s in Africa too. But you would be paying them the same amount (or well, maybe 70% that?) if you wanted the same output.

Sure, I don't see anything wrong with that. To me nationality bears almost zero correlation to productivity and this has been anecdotally proven throughout 18.5y of career.
